Only about 4.5 on the Weird-Stuff-O-Meter (1 to 10 scale).

It would be interesting to try (first) in a small pond. IF you can effectively control FHM number as needed, I think you'd have a grasp on the hardest control method required. RES are the only Lepomid NOT reported to overpopulate and stunt. There numbers should be easy to control in a small pond.

The biggest question is probably how well RES can feed on FHM; if you are adding some Redears to that FHM pondlet, you should be able to provide a big chunk of the answer after seeing how they do..
